The CIBSE Building Performance Awards 2022 are open to entries – and there is a new standardised data entry format for the project categories, which will allow data from buildings entered to be included in the CIBSE Energy Benchmarks.
Hywel Davies, Technical Director of the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers, said: “A lot of effort goes into entering these awards and we want to see measured data for the entries. The new forms make clear what we are asking for and make it easier to provide. Sharing the data is optional but those who are willing to share ensures that the accumulated understanding around each building adds to industry knowledge.”
The awards programme includes categories to recognise the best consultancies, individuals and teams but the highlight of the event is always the exemplar buildings entered into the project categories.
In another change, this year the awards do not separate building types. Instead, entries are encouraged for all projects. The judges will select the best overall entries using the newly standardised entry data to make fair comparisons between buildings with very different purpose and function.
